f4i stoppie help newb

Im new to stunting, ride a stock f4i for now, and was trying stoppies. I was doing fine, got em rolling for several feet, then i tried doing one the other day and the front tire locked up and skid. Scared the **** out of me but i managed to keep from eating ****. I didnt do anything different than before. Thought it was the pavement or my tire but it has plenty of tread. Was thinking maybe it was the tire pressure? What should it be set at? Ive done it several times more since then and it seems like a 50/50 between coming up or locking up the tire!?! Id appreciate any advice at all thanks.

get a good tire pilot power or m3 and warm up the tire before you bring em up.
